commit 59ed695d6058fac2eb82fe778b04abe1a55283ba Author: Arthur Heymans arthur@aheymans.xyz Date: Wed Sep 7 22:10:57 2016 +0200
i945/gma.c: generate fake VBT
This generates a fake VBT for the Intel i945 graphic device. i945 supports both the mobile chipset 945gm (calistoga) and the desktop chipset 945gc (lakeport), which is why a VBT with a different id string needs to be created for each target.
The VBT id string is obtained from the vbios blob in the following way: "strings vbios.bin | grep VBT".
